Disgruntled progressive activists and organizations have embarked on a campaign to push voters to mark themselves “uncommitted” in protest of Biden’s stance on the Israel-Hamas War.
With 95% of the expected vote tabulated, 70.5% of voters backed Biden while 19.0% went uncommitted, according to a tabulation by The Associated Press.
In Minnesota, more than 45,000 marked themselves “uncommitted” — a number greater than the margin by which Hillary Clinton defeated Donald Trump in the state in 2016.
Either Biden gets this message now or he will lose in fall. That’s up to Biden to decide.
It is overwhelmingly clear that this is going to lose him the election if he continues. This is his choice not the voters.
It is literally 100% up to the voters who gets elected president
Have you forgotten the 2000 election so soon?
Fair point, I did forget about that
Touché, good sir.
Not according to the DNC. Just ask Bernie Sanders. I remember 2016 & 2020.
I worked on the Bernie campaign. He lost. Progressives didn’t show up during the primaries and he didn’t get the votes. It wasn’t rigged or stolen, he just didn’t get enough support from the voters that showed up.
I do remember the democratic establishment hamstringing him at every opportunity in favor of Hilary, even though he had a wave of support the same way trump did.
Yeah and I think that’s a fair critique of the DNC. I just don’t see any evidence that it swung the election. At the end of the day, Bernie could’ve won if more people voted for him. They didn’t, so he didn’t.
lol ok. I also worked on Bernie’s campaign and that’s not how I remember it. Don’t be surprised when Trump wins because Biden refuses to acknowledge the Progressive voters. It won’t be rigged or stolen, it’ll be on the DNC for not offering appealing candidate.
So where did Bernie’s votes go then? Are you saying the results were wrong? Did the DNC prevent people from voting for Bernie during the primaries? The numbers would appear to support my position.
I don’t understand how you can say that Biden hasn’t acknowledged progressives. The IRA has a bunch of great climate stuff, he’s forgiven billions of student loans, and the NLRB has helped drive unionization efforts around the country.
Do you recall? Fellow Bernie campaigner lol.

So you completely ignore what I wrote and posted articles about something I’m not disputing?
So are you going to ignore that the DNC itself is not Democratic? If the platform for choosing candidates is not representing its own voters and actively promoting its own self serving interests, your vote doesn’t matter. It is a sham. The DNC actively painted Sanders in a negative way and pushed both Clinton and Biden. Just like this primary where saying anything against the DNC’s narrative will get you panned. Yes, the DNC prevented people from voting Sanders because giving him fair treatment would have upset the corporate democrat mindset.
Where did the votes go? They are still available if you acknowledge the policies that make Bernie an appealing candidate instead of championing the low effort neoliberal stance Biden has to be pushed into.
How the fuck are people so angry at hearing this when this is exactly how we got 4 years of Donald Trump as president in the first place?
Doesn’t really make sense to let him lose though if your goal is to end the horror in Israel. Only Biden will even attempt at a ceasefire, Trump will just let the area be obliterated.
This your guy?
Joe Biden issues strident defence of refusal to call for ceasefire in Gaza
You’re right. The alternative is much better:
Trump Backs Israel Bombarding Gaza: ‘Gotta Finish the Problem’
That was three months ago. Try to keep up with the news.
‘We need a cease-fire,’ Biden says.
OP likes to keep the goalposts on wheels. Makes it easier to spread their nonsense and support the GOP.
Oh wow, did he stop his weapons deliveries to israel? Put any pressure on israel whatsoever?
Or is he trying to win votes from people stupid enough to believe empty words?
Based on news coverage, yes, this pressure is working and he seems to be pushing more to end the conflict.
Should he need the pressure? No. Would Trump be any better? No.
This pressure? From today:
World Food Programme says northern Gaza aid convoy blocked
What specific changes to US policy has Biden made that departs from past administrations? What is he doing that Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama/Trump wouldn’t be doing? And how would Trump improve that policy if he wins in the fall?
Specifics please.
Bush:
Obama (Not much but it’s something)
What’s Trump going to different than Biden that’s the question. It’s looking like two sides of the same coin. Maybe you can focus your efforts on getting Biden to change that.
This is how we know you’re full of shit.
You very conveniently ignored the other evidence you asked for. Can you say that you were wrong about that?
I like how you ignored the part about Trump doing much worse.
Yep OP and others trying to depress Dem turnout absolutely refuse to acknowledge that piece because it makes it incredibly clear that they’re full of shit.
Right. We should let the guy who said he’d kill the Palestinians even harder win. That’ll show Biden!
Obvious Russian agitprop is obvious. 🙄
